Kieran Tierney

That might be the way forward for the team, 3 at the back. Something a bit different

 

Finished

 

This comment, sadly, didn't age well.

Made us worse when he moved to LCB. If tonight is the gauge then changing to 3 at the back and/or moving him to LCB solves nothing.

Rodgers wanted him back to make amends and we are saddled with that decision for quite some time.

 

This had disaster written all over it from the start. The member berries ruled more hearts than heads at the time though.

 

Rodgers signing 100%. 100% obvious how it would end up too.

 

He's been fine and will get better. We have been solid defensively for the most part, very little comes at us down his side unlike when Taylor was here, we were constantly targeted down the left. He is still a threat going forward but the forward and midfield play is so stunted that there is nothing to hit.

 

Saracchi should be starting. KT is miles off it. No room for sentiment here. Physically and mentally not there.

 

Was better as the LCB in a back three when we switched. But as a LB, not better than Saracchi.

 

Think he should call it a day at the end of the season.

 

Its like when izzaguire came back, albeit much older, he was * too.
Never in favour of these kind of moves, rarely works out and diminishes how he was once thought of.

 

To be fair it’s toxic at the club and it won’t help the fact he can’t last 90 minutes either.

He's pulling out of tackles not doing what he was great at. The only thing you can say at least we got him on a free.

 

There's obviously a plan to get him back to full fitness and willing to give it to the new year as he builds up but it is a concern. The one positive is forcing us to have a pretty solid other option in Saracchi.

 

I don’t think he’s done much wrong. It’s just everyone’s upset about how bad we are doing atm that every player is crap now. He been pretty solid defensively but isn’t getting forward as much but that’s down to tactics rather than himself.

 

Does anyone think the club protected themselves with this signing as in if he can't play without recurring injuries can't play enough games minutes then contract is null and void ?

We didn't do it with McCarthy i fear we've amateurishly just done it again

 

5 year contract length says we have Tierney whatever he wanted.

 

every where you look at us the now it shows failures if we weren't a successful team domestically these problems would have been getting more attention from fans and media

 

There's such a lack of nuance surrounding online football discourse these days. Claims that he's 'finished' are stupid.

 

Looks like he’s holding himself back.

A single bad injury can rock a player mentally and they never fully get over it. Repeated injuries like his, wouldn’t surprise me if he’s psychologically shot.

Hopefully he gets past whatever demons he may be facing.

 

I'm amongst the * show, KT has been one of our better players.
Excellent passing forward (one of the few who does pass forward), good defensively / positionally when ball in front of him - admittedly struggling when ball is in behind.

I don't know what the expectation was from some folk, a 20 year old KT marauding forward constantly?
He's a very different player now, more composed and intelligent if a little less physically capable.

Fitness and resilience also being gradually built up by the club, going from 55-60 mins a game to 80-90mins.
The game management by the club has been excellent and progress is clear.

I personally delighted to have him and a few folk here will be eating their words come end of season.

 

Thought he was so poor when he came on..

Did whip in one ball but outwith that under little pressure was booting it in to the main stand over and over. Booting the ball off our own players instead of relaxing. Had to let Balikwisha basically help him in getting out of a press twice in one move and then launched it again..

Can't think of one instance where he tried to bomb on or go by anyone. Even an attempt..
